Interesting how LaFlemne stated we didn’t learn this in school. I remember we did and spoke with my sister who was also taught about residential schools. It may have been where we were raised, by the 6 Nations reserve or timing, early 60’s. Apparently not all Canadians had their heads in the sand. It is a worthwhile series to listen to.
For @TheRomani53, since my reply keeps getting erased: I wouldn't pretend to be you for a moment because you make poor choices as you continue to drag yesterday into today. Countless millions of others have suffered far worse than you have (the Jews, kulaks, for example) who have got on with their lives and refused to succumb to tribal "intergenerational trauma." And therein lies the real difference between you and me. You have chosen a tribal identity whereas mine is individual. The result is that I can get on with my life while you are mired in the past.
Like Episodes 1 and 2 this interview, by an overly sympathetic interviewer who asks only leading, confirmation bias questions and no hard questions of a man who often needs an Indian Industry lawyer to clarify his case begins with lies that make it so obviously biased it is hard to watch. And they do it all with straight faces so that some viewers, if uninformed about the facts, will accept what they say as the truth. But this sort of interview, which borders on yellow journalism, does not help the Indigenous cause or promote a genuine understanding of their history.
@@hereandnow_2024_ The 215 children at Kamloops were accounted for, so the soil anomalies are unlikely to be anything more than roots. Were that not the case the RCMP would have been involved and the land dug up by now. In fact, that is likely the case in all instances of GPR "graves" except those clearly in abandoned graveyards. Persisting with those misrepresentations about the GPR findings is shameful chicanery. As Abe Lincoln said, You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time despite our clown of a PM.
@@billedward77 Can you direct me to a link where it says they are accounted for? I have done a search and only find where it has been confirmed that 215 were found at the Kamloops Residential school.
@@hereandnow_2024_ If you look at the dates of "confirmed" graves being found at KIRS you will see that all go back to 2021 and 2022 when all the lies and gross exaggerations were believed. But, of course, nothing has been proven since no excavations have been carried out. And yet there is page after page of such articles and it's quite disheartening for anyone interested in the facts. So you have to look at scholarly articles about the subject. It might be more correctly put that all of the children who attended the KIRS were accounted for because they all had registration numbers. (These numbers, i.e. records, were important because schools were paid on a per capita basis.) Anthropologist H. Rubenstein in his paper Digging for the Truth About Canada's Residential Schools looked at the school records and at first could not account for only 51 students. With further investigation, however, he found they were buried on their home reserves. A couple of scholarly books on the subject well worth reading are Grave Error and From Truth Come Reconciliation.
@@hereandnow_2024_ I replied to your request yesterday but it seems to have disappeared from the feed, so I will try again. All the "confirmations" you found were from front-page headlines in 2021-22. And they go on and on ad nauseam with nary a contradictory note. But of all the accusations of" mass" or "unmarked" graves, only one went ahead with an excavation, No bones were found, only roots. Not a shovelful of dirt has been turned at Kamloops because it would be politically foolish to do so. In any case, stories that contradict the indigenous narrative would not make the front page and instead would be relegated to the back pages or perhaps an op-ed, if a legacy news outlet would even deign to print them. They're just not sensationalist enough, not to mention the likelihood of being labeled a "denialist" or even a racist. But anthropologist H, Rubenstein examined the records at KIRS because every student was registered, all with numbers. (These records were kept because the schools were paid on a per capita basis) In his paper "Digging for the Truth about Canada's Residential School Graves" he reports that at first all but 51 of the students could be accounted for, but a deeper investigation showed that those 51 were buried on their home reserves. Two books that dispel many of the mistruths, exaggerations, and allegations of the indigenous narrative that are well worth reading are "Grave Errors" and "From Truth Comes Reconciliation."

The first school opened in 1831, not 1867

So, where are the factual errors, in your opinion?
